Hey You guys, we started a new topic in maths called "Plane Geometry and Linear Functions" and we have to do 24 maths exercises in 14 days,so we can manage our time with the other topics, so were doing 2 exercises a day, and im not managing because i got assignments and also my half yearlies. And i dnt wanna drop 2unit maths cause i cnt manage it, i can, but i need special attention for maths, i cnt have anythn else on my mind like exams.
What should i do? :(

24 maths exercises in 14 days sounds abit too much. How big are they though ?

are you guys cramming because your class fell behind? I'd just quickly do the questions covering content for the half-yearlys and leave the rest later. Finish the assignments first, study for exams. Then finish the rest of the exercises.

do less of the questions you find easy and focus more on the questions you find difficult

yeah I agree, if it's too much don't waste your time with pointless ones just for the sake of doing them

Um its just called" 2 unit mathematics Book 1" S.B JONES and K.E COUCHMAN"
:S weird
That book is decent. It gives relevant questions. I suggest you complete all the exercises if it is possible. Get the 2nd one if you can.

I have both books and I think they are great. They have got a good range of questions. Good luck with those books!!!

Junior maths seems so easy compared to senior maths. I honestly did shit all for junior maths - just copied the answers from the back. :hammer:
